Was looking for the Lesney red 914 in Wally World and saw a collector pack with the yellow 914 in it.....not uncommon....but, what was is the 914 was facing to the right....all others I've seen face the left....so....I got it....not that facing the wrong way makes it more valuable....just different....

Matchbox always face left and Hotwheels always face right. Unless someone when packaging makes a mistake or someone replaced the car at some point.

You guys who have modified these - how do you change out the wheels? Do you have to drill out the pressed in fittings that join the body to the floor/seat section?

1st, you need to buy another Matchbox "Donor" car to get you wheels/axles

2nd, Drill out the Metal Fittings like you would a rivet

3rd, take the sections apart, pry open the plastic ramps without breaking them, pull out the existing axles. Then put the new axles /wheels in the slots, bend the ramps back over. Put the car back together and use J-B Weld / Superglue to hold it all together

Any news of the orange ones hitting the North American market yet? I saw the link of them in Australia but have never seen one for sale....somebody in Australia here can help us get some. I would love to have 2 of the orange ones plus that cool rare blue one to complete my collection. I also have some stuff I can trade (hint!hint!)

I just ordered a Lesney 914-6 (red) from the following e-store for $3.99 plus shipping. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

www.shop.cdctoyz.com

I'll let you know when I get it.

I looked in the times square Toys R'Us last week and besides LOTs of Lesney Europas, no 914s. They did have the multi pack with the light green one (about 6 of them if anyone wants me to get them one).

I am looking forward to the orange ones as everyone knows that Orange is the fastest color...

I did score a pair of blue GT3 RSs the other day at WalMart.

Never found a 914 there, but these made up for it.

I wonder what percentage of the Matchbox 914 models will be bought by 914 world/club members? I bet 10%.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Anyone get one of these yet? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Crappy photo but their signal with the Porsche side stripe. I found them at the local grocery store in an orange free standing card display.

ORANGE!!!!! F Yes!!!! Im going to hit all the stores tomorrow, no matter what my GF says..

YES!!

Does anyone think that matchbox is looking at how much the 914 is selling across the states and notices there is a market for them that buys ALL of the available cars? What color number is this 4 or 5?
